CAPO issues statement to warn senators against nominating new PM

BANGKOK: -- The Centre for Administration of Peace and Order Wednesday issued a statement, warning senators against violating the laws by nominating a nonpartisan prime minister as demanded by anti-government protesters.

The statement read by Tarit Pengdith, director of the Department of Special Investigation, said the call by the People's Democratic Reform Committee for the acting Senate speaker to nominate a nonpartisan prime minister for a royal appointment is unconstitutional and illegal.

"As a result, the CAPO would like to call on senators, some political groups and supporters of the PDRC to stop breaking the laws by selecting and nominating an unlawful prime minister," the statement said.

So CAPO now think they are the government!

[Local Drunk]

Bring it on!

[krystian]

DESPERATION AT ITS BEST!!

[issanaus]

Unconstitutional seeking to usurp power is call a coup - surely CAPO has realised this level

[bkkjames]

So if the senate is breaking the law - perhaps CAPO will go arrest them?

Thailand the hub of threats

[rametindallas]

CAPO is a toothless tiger; all growl but no bite. It has absolutely no one to enforce its ridiculous edicts. (especially since police have been killed and injured trying to enforce CAPO policy on the PDRC). Its high-ranking leaders have no official office any longer and may not be qualified for their positions. Stop laughing! Never forget that UDD, PTP, DSI, and CAPO are directly controlled by Thaksin. The military and police are aware of CAPO's powerless status. As soon as everyone else does, the sooner everyone will classify the pronouncements by CAPO to be the same as a soi dog, barking into the night; annoying but otherwise harmless.

They are just playing for time as Chalerm readies the Paratroops.

[siampolee]

The P.T.P. puppets squeak yet again being under the illusion they are in power

Indeed I think that the Thai people want peace so much that one of these days the P.T.P. caretaker government had better get out of the way and let them have it

With apologies to the late Dwight D.Eisenhower whose original quote is here below.

It's not against the law. Stop making up stories CAPO.

Thailand the hub of threats

The attorneys must be having a feeding frenzy with all the docs they get to submit.

Have i missed something? but when did CAPO become agency above senate?

And since CAPO and Chalerm like to use "law" in making their statements, what section of the law allows CAPO to "warn" senators?

This is actually a good thing, Tarit, Chalerm and the rest defending the constitution. I hope they take the same stand when 304 PTP members are banned for voting on the amnesty bill.

The Senate should file a complaint with the DSI to arrest itself for issuing threats? lol

[Piichai]

Sad days ahead as the skies of Thailand are darkened by thousands of Calerm's paratroopers raining from above to arrest Suthep, the protesters, the Senate, and anyone who has ever posted a discouraging word on Thai Visa.

It has finally come to this.

Isn't it a pity...

Why? do you think senators are "above the law"?

Aiding and abetting a criminal act would be the obvious charge.

[Tatsujin]

... or else what? CAPO/DSI will go arrest the Senators? For following the rule of law and trying to find a legal way out of the <deleted> mess Thaksin has created? What a <deleted> joke this country is.

[Piichai]

I'm sure the Thai Lawyers Council will be happy to defend the Senators.

Doing their jobs according to the Constitution has suddenly become a criminal offence in the <deleted> up brains of PT/Thaksin/CAPO/Tarit? You guys need to take your heads out of your arse's.

Why? do you think CAPO and Chalerm is THE LAW?

You are right, aiding and abetting and taking orders from convicted criminal on the run should be obvious charge and all PTP members should be charged and jailed

[ChrisY1]

Tarit is really starting to panic.....Chalerm's pissed.......it's the blind leading here.....no-one knows what's going on......

Pretty much as usual.....and wouldn't expect much more from these people.......

There's gotta be 10 years of legal cases pending now......a laughing stock, but bad for the country!!

But that's the problem - what they are discussing is NOT in line with the constitution - so said the constitutional court when it ruled the caretaker cabinet must select a new caretaker pm to serve until an election.

[rubl]

ex Dept. PM and ex MoFA and still chief advisor to CAPO Surapong will probably organise a new session with foreign envoys and diplomats to explain the democratic, lawfull way in which the CAPO tries to put the Senate on the right path.

Surely this comedy hour must be really appreciated by those invited.

[Thait Spot]

Tarit is just a partisan, glorified policeman under investigation for several possible crimes and is severely pushing the boundaries of his responsibility with statements such as this

[marko kok prong]

This is becoming like a carry on movie,any suggestions for a title?

[bapak]

There was a story circulating last night that Chalerm was in hospital. Have seen nothing further.

Slightly off topic. Can anyone provide some realistic attendance figures for both the PDRC and Red rallies?

[pkspeaker]

LOL you wish! CAPO and the DSI are the cops, so the real government has thousands of cops, so many that as we have seen they can outnumber Suthep's 'protesters'; the police with help from the army (which is either neutral or in support it's DM Yingluck) have repeatedly pawned Suthep's attempts to take over government buildings, where he's managed to enter the premises for the last 6 months they usually let him in and supervise his childish non-sense, before throwing him out at a later time, like at the interior ministry, now their letting him use the waiting room and Gov. House, until his next gimmik.

you won't see his mob overrun the real seat of real power- the Office of the Permanent Secretary of Defense. The military is supporting CAPO's rejection of using section 7 to appoint a PM.

Suthep has no real support in the military, monarchy, police, lower house, and now even the courts are abandoning his ridiculous 'cause' so what does his new 'appointed' government that he has created in the waiting room at govt house have, other than the waiting room at government house?
